3 Modules

A modules is a compiler and interpreter entity. Modules have been first designed for the compiler that compiles modules and then, links them against libraries in order to produce executables. A module may be split into several files but a file cannot contain more than one module. A module is made of a module clause that is a list for which the car is the symbol module and followed by any Bigloo expression (that is definitions or expressions). The module clause names the module and defines the scope of the definitions. At last, the module clause is also the place where foreign bindings are defined and where classes are defined. Recent versions of Bigloo (since 2.7b) fully supports modules from the interpreter.
